Arsenal injury news: Tomas Rosicky out for up to eight weeks after surgery

Another spell on the sidelines: Rosicky will miss more Arsenal games Getty

Tomas Rosicky could be out of action at Arsenal for nearly two months after undergoing knee surgery.

The midfielder picked up an injury in June whilst playing for the Czech Republic in a Euro 2016 qualifier against Iceland and is now a doubt for his country’s upcoming qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Latvia.

The player’s agent Pavel Paska told Czech media on Wednesday: “The recovery is expected to take four to eight weeks.”

This means the 33-year-old is likely to miss at least another four Premier League games at a time when Arsene Wenger’s attacking options are limited due to the injuries of Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere, as well as Alexis Sanchez’s recovery from his Copa America exertions.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said last week that Rosicky was "on a progressive recovery."
